Awash On the Shore

Alone the pain hurts Awash on the shore, beaten Crushed by the harsh waves No one there to hold onto Love seemed to have escaped me Russell Sivey Entrant into Brian Strand's "WHAT YOU WILL" contest 1/12/2012

It's true that when we have no one with whom to share our lives we can feel as though we are stranded and alone. There is an old saying: "Oh Lord, the sea is so big and my boat is so small." Good write my friend. God Bless, JB

Brian should like this tanka. It is more descriptive than most I have seen.

Russell, i to can feel the waves crash hard when I allow love to slip away... but,on the other hand... i also feel the beaten of the shore when love washes up on my canvas... excellent poem..p.d.
